Item 1.  Business.

General

      Parkway Properties, Inc. ("Parkway" or the "Company") is  a
self-administered,  self-managed  real  estate  investment  trust
("REIT")  specializing in the acquisition, ownership, management,
financing  and  leasing of office properties in the  Southeastern
United States and Texas.  Parkway and its predecessors have  been
public companies engaged in the real estate business since  1971,
and  have  successfully operated and grown through several  major
real  estate cycles.  At March 25, 1998, Parkway owned or had  an
interest in 46 office properties located in twelve states with an
aggregate  of approximately 6.3 million square feet  of  leasable
space.

      The purchase of the Mtel Centre in Jackson, Mississippi  in
July  1995  marked  the implementation of the Company's  business
strategy of focused investment in office properties.  As part  of
this  strategy, the Company has (i) completed the acquisition  of
42  office properties, encompassing approximately 5.9 million net
rentable square feet, for a total investment of more than  $517.3
million; and (ii) sold or is in the process of selling all of its
non-office assets.  Total investment is defined as purchase price
plus estimated closing costs and anticipated capital expenditures
during  the  first  12  to  24 months  of  ownership  for  tenant
improvements,  commissions, upgrades and capital improvements  to
bring the building up to the Company's standards.

      In  addition to direct real estate acquisitions,  Parkway's
investment   strategy   has   also  historically   included   the
consummation  of  business combination  transactions  with  other
public  real estate and financial companies which Parkway  deemed
to  be undervalued.  Since 1979, Parkway has completed eight such
business  combinations.  Management may pursue  similar  business
combination transactions on a selected basis in order to  enhance
stockholder value.

      Since  January 1997, the capital structure of  Parkway  has
changed substantially.

          Effective  January 1, 1997, the Company elected  to  be
          taxed  as  a  real  estate investment trust  under  the
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code"), as amended.

          On  January 22, 1997, the Company completed the sale of
          1,750,000  shares of common stock in a public offering.
          Effective February 19, 1997, the Underwriters  in  this
          offering   exercised  the  over-allotment  option   and
          purchased an additional 262,500 shares. Net proceeds to
          the   Company   of   these  sales  were   approximately
          $51,221,000.

          On  September 24, 1997, the Company completed the  sale
          of  3,000,000  shares  of  common  stock  in  a  public
          offering.   Effective October 6, 1997, the Underwriters
          in  this  offering exercised the over-allotment  option
          and   purchased  an  additional  450,000  shares.   Net
          proceeds   to   the   Company  of  these   sales   were
          approximately $109,440,000.
     
          On February 23, 1998, the Company completed the sale of
          451,128  shares  of common stock to a  unit  investment
          trust with net proceeds to the Company of $14,231,000.
     
          On  March 11, 1998, the Company completed the  sale  of
          common  stock through the direct placement  of  855,900
          shares of common stock to institutional investors  with
          net proceeds to the Company of $26,948,000.
     
          The  Company  completed  its  reorganization  into  the
          UPREIT  (Umbrella Partnership REIT) structure effective
          January  1,  1998.   The Company anticipates  that  the
          UPREIT  structure  will enable it to pursue  additional
          investment opportunities by having the ability to offer
          tax-advantaged operating partnership units to  property
          owners in exchange for properties.

     Parkway has managed its properties in Jackson since 1990 and
expanded  its  self-management, effective  January  1,  1998,  to
office  properties  that  it  owns in Houston,  Atlanta,  Dallas,
Charlotte,  Winston-Salem, Columbia, Knoxville and  Memphis.   As
such,  Parkway  self-manages in excess  of  80%  of  its  current
portfolio  on a net rentable square footage basis.   The  Company
benefits  from  a  fully  integrated  management  infrastructure,
provided  by  its  wholly-owned  management  subsidiary,  Parkway
Realty Services LLC ("Parkway Realty").  In addition to its owned
properties,  Parkway  Realty  currently  manages  and/or   leases
approximately  one  million net rentable square  feet  for  third
parties.    The  Company  is  in  the  process  of  significantly
expanding its management efforts through plans to expand the self-
management  of its properties to all markets as its  presence  in
those  markets  reaches the minimum net rentable  square  footage
necessary to make it cost efficient to self-manage.  The  Company
believes  self-management will result in higher tenant  retention
and  will allow the Company to enhance stockholder value  through
the application of its hands-on management style.

      Until  December 31, 1996, Parkway operated as a real estate
operating company.  For the taxable years 1996 and 1995,  Parkway
paid  virtually no federal income taxes ($64,000 in 1995 and none
in  1996)  primarily  because Parkway had certain  net  operating
losses  ("NOLs")  to shelter most of Parkway's income  from  such
taxes.  However, the increase in the number of outstanding common
shares, which resulted from the completion of a private placement
of  common shares in June 1996 and Parkway's mergers during  1994
and  1995,  caused the use of Parkway's NOLs to be  significantly
limited  in  any  one  year.   Accordingly,  Parkway's  board  of
directors determined that it was in the best interests of Parkway
and  its stockholders to elect to qualify Parkway as a REIT under
the  Code  for the taxable year beginning January 1, 1997,  which
allows  Parkway to be generally exempt from federal income  taxes
even  if  its  NOLs are limited or exhausted, provided  it  meets
various REIT requirements.

Business Objectives and Strategy of the Company

      Parkway's business objective is to maximize total return to
stockholders   over   time   primarily   through   increases   in
distributions and share price appreciation.  During 1997, Parkway
distributed  $1.20  per share in dividends to shareholders  which
represents  a 93.5% increase over the 1996 dividends  distributed
of  $.62  per  share.  Distributions in 1997 of $1.20  per  share
represent  a  payout  of  48.4%  of  the  Company's  funds   from
operations  ("FFO") for the year.  The Company  anticipates  that
its dividend payout ratio will continue to approximate 50% of its
FFO,   subject   to   compliance  with  the   REIT   distribution
requirements.  See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and  Analysis
of  Financial Condition and Results of Operation" for  discussion
of FFO.

      Parkway generally seeks to acquire well-located Class A, A-
or B+ (as classified within their respective markets) multi-story
office  buildings  which  are located  in  primary  or  secondary
markets  in the Southeastern United States and Texas, ranging  in
size  from  50,000 to 500,000 net rentable square feet and  which
have current and projected occupancy levels in excess of 70%  and
adequate  parking  to  accommodate full occupancy.   The  Company
targets  buildings  which are occupied  by  a  major  tenant  (or
tenants)  (e.g., a tenant that accounts for at least 30%  of  the
building's  total  rental revenue and has  at  least  five  years
remaining  on  its  lease).  Parkway strives to  purchase  office
buildings  at initial unleveraged yields on its total  investment
in the range of 9% to 11% per annum.  The Company defines initial
unleveraged  yield  as  net operating  income  divided  by  total
investment  (as  previously defined), where net operating  income
represents budgeted cash operating income for the current year at
current  occupancy rates and at rental rates currently  in  place
with no adjustments for anticipated expense savings, increases in
rental  rates, additional leasing or straight line rent.   Leases
that  expire during the year are assumed to renew at market rates
unless  interviews with tenants during pre-purchase due diligence
indicate  a  likelihood that a tenant will not renew. In  markets
where  the Company self-manages its properties, NOI also includes
the  net  management fee expected to be earned during  the  year.
The  Company  also  generally seeks to acquire  properties  whose
total  investment per net rentable square foot is  at  least  25%
below  estimated replacement cost and whose current rental  rates
are at or below market rental rates.   While the Company seeks to
acquire  properties  which meet all of the acquisition  criteria,
specific property acquisitions are evaluated individually and may
fail  to meet one or more of the acquisition criteria at the date
of  purchase.  Since January 1, 1997, the Company has acquired 30
office  properties  aggregating  approximately  4.3  million  net
rentable  square  feet  for a total investment  of  approximately
$412.6  million,  or  approximately $96 per net  rentable  square
foot.

     Parkway believes that its focus on its existing and targeted
high  growth markets in the Southeastern United States and  Texas
should  provide  further  opportunities  to  enhance  stockholder
value.    Parkway   is  presently  focusing  its   resources   on
acquisitions in both its existing markets and several  additional
markets  in  the  Southeastern United States,  including  central
business  districts and suburban markets.  Parkway  has  targeted
these  markets  based  on positive economic  indicators  such  as
higher  than  average job growth and strong  real  estate  market
fundamentals  such  as increasing occupancy  levels,  strong  net
absorption and rising rental rates.

      Parkway's  management team consists of  experienced  office
property  specialists with proven capabilities in office property
(i)  acquisition; (ii) ownership; (iii) management; (iv) leasing;
(v)  financing;  and (vi) re-positioning.  The  Company  believes
these  capabilities  will allow Parkway  to  continue  to  create
office  property  value in all phases of the real  estate  cycle.
Parkway's nine senior officers have an average of over  16  years
of  real estate industry experience, and have worked together  at
Parkway  or  its predecessors for an average of over  ten  years.
Management  has  developed  a highly service-oriented  management
culture   and  believes  that  its  proactive  leasing,  property
management and asset management activities will result in  higher
tenant  retention and rental rates and will continue to translate
into enhanced stockholder value.

Dispositions

      Since  January 1, 1995, Parkway has also pursued a strategy
of   liquidating  its  non-office  assets  and  office   building
investments outside its area of geographic focus, and  using  the
proceeds  from  such sales to acquire office  properties  in  the
Southeastern  United States and Texas.  In accordance  with  this
strategy, since January 1, 1995, Parkway has sold assets  with  a
book  value  of  approximately $41 million for approximately  $62
million,  resulting in an aggregate gain for financial  reporting
purposes  of  approximately $21 million.  The book value  of  all
remaining  non-office building real estate  assets  and  mortgage
loans,  all of which are for sale, was approximately $5.4 million
as of December 31, 1997.

Administration

      The  Company  is  self administered and  self  managed  and
maintains   its   principal   executive   offices   in   Jackson,
Mississippi.   As  of  March  25,  1998,  the  Company  had   120
employees.

       The   operations  of  the  Company  are   conducted   from
approximately  8,000 square feet of office space located  at  188
East  Capitol  Street,  One Jackson Place  Suite  1000,  Jackson,
Mississippi.  The building is owned by Parkway and is  leased  by
Parkway  at market rental rates.  The Company maintains a website
at www.parkwayco.com.

Item 2.  Properties.

General

      The Company invests principally in office buildings in  the
Southeastern United States and Texas, but is not limited  to  any
specific geographical region or property type.  Including  office
building  acquisitions made through March 25, 1998,  the  Company
has  46  office  buildings comprising approximately  6.3  million
square feet of office space located in twelve states.

      Property  acquisitions in 1997, 1996 and 1995  were  funded
through a variety of sources, including:

          Cash reserves and cash generated from operating
          activities,
     
       Sales  of non-core assets, including real estate, mortgage
       loans and securities,
     
       Fixed  rate,  non-recourse mortgage  financing  at  fully-
       amortizing terms ranging from 12 to 15 years,
     
       Assumption of existing fixed rate, non-recourse  mortgages
       on properties purchased,
     
          Sales of Parkway common stock, and
     
          Advances on bank lines of credit.



Office Buildings

      The  Company  intends  to  hold  its  portfolio  of  office
buildings for investment purposes.  The Company does not  propose
any program for the renovation, improvement or development of any
of  the  office buildings, except as called for under the renewal
of  existing  leases or the signing of new leases or improvements
necessary   to  upgrade  recent  acquisitions  to  the  Company's
operating  standards.  All such improvements are expected  to  be
financed by cash flow from the portfolio of office properties and
advances on bank lines of credit.

      In the opinion of management, all properties are adequately
covered by insurance.

      All  office  building investments compete for tenants  with
similar  properties located within the same market  primarily  on
the  basis of location, rent charged, services provided  and  the
design  and  condition  of the improvements.   The  Company  also
competes with other REITs, financial institutions, pension funds,
partnerships, individual investors and others when attempting  to
acquire office properties.

(1)Average rent per square foot is defined as the weighted average current gross
rental  rate including escalations for occupied office space in the building  as
of February 28, 1998.

(2)Estimated  average  market rent per square foot  is  based  upon  information
obtained  from  (i)  the  Company's  own experience  in  leasing  space  at  the
properties; (ii) leasing agents in the relevant markets with respect  to  quoted
rental rates and completed leasing transactions for comparable properties in the
relevant  markets;  and  (iii) publicly available  data  with  respect  thereto.
Estimated  average  market  rent is weighted by the  net  rentable  square  feet
expiring in each property.

(3)The percentage of leases expiring in 1998 represents the ratio of square feet
under leases expiring in 1998 divided by total net rentable square feet.

(1)Annualized  rental  amount expiring is defined as net rentable  square  feet
expiring multiplied by the weighted average expiring annual rental rate per net
rentable square foot.

(2)Weighted  average expiring gross rental rate is the weighted average  rental
rate including escalations for office space.

(3)Estimated  average market rent is based upon information obtained  from  (i)
the  Company's own experience in leasing space at the properties: (ii)  leasing
agents  in  the  relevant  markets with respect  to  quoted  rental  rates  and
completed  leasing  transactions  for comparable  properties  in  the  relevant
markets;  and  (iii)  publicly available data with respect thereto.   Estimated
average  market  rent is weighted by the net rentable square feet  expiring  in
each property.
Tenants

     The office properties are leased to approximately 837 tenants, which engage
in  a  wide  variety  of  industries including  banking,  professional  services
(including  legal, accounting, and consulting), energy, financial  services  and
telecommunications.  The following table sets forth information  concerning  the
10  largest  tenants of the properties owned as of March 25, 1998 (in thousands,

Non-Core Assets

       Since   January   1,   1995,   Parkway  has   pursued   a   strategy   of
liquidating   its   non-core   assets  and  using   the   proceeds   from   such
sales   to   acquire   office   properties.   The   Company   defines   non-core
assets    as    all   assets   other   than   office   properties    which    at
December   31,   1997   consisted   of   land,   mortgage   loans   and    other
real     estate    properties.     In    accordance    with    this    strategy,
Parkway   sold   non-core   assets   with  a   book   value   of   approximately
$23,135,000   for   cash   proceeds   of   approximately   $37,147,000    during
1997   and   1996.    Aggregate   gains   for   financial   reporting   purposes
from   sales,   write-downs   and   deferred  gains   recognized   on   non-core
assets   during   1997  and  1996  were  $13,365,000.    The   book   value   of
all   remaining   non-office   building  real   estate   assets   and   mortgag
loans,   all   of   which  are  for  sale,  was  approximately   $5,426,000   as
of    December    31,    1997.    Of   this   amount,   $4,309,000    represents
undeveloped    land   with   a   carrying   cost   of   approximately    $50,000
annually.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

       The   Company   and   its   subsidiaries  are,   from   time   to   time,
parties   to   litigation   arising  from   the   ordinary   course   of   their
business.  Management of Parkway does not believe that any such
litigation    will    materially    effect    the    financial    position    or
operations of Parkway.

Financial Condition

Comments    are    for   the   balance   sheet   dated   December    31,    1997
compared to the balance sheet dated December 31, 1996.

                                             ========

       (a)The   Company   assumed   a  $6,910,000   first   mortgage   with   an
8.08% interest rate as part of the purchase.

       (b)The   Company   assumed  at  $7,958,000   first   mortgage   with   an
8.125% interest rate as part of the purchase.

        In    connection    with   the   Charlotte   Park    Executive    Center
purchase,    the   Company   also   purchased   17.64   acres   of   development
land    in    the    same   office   park   for   $1,721,000.     The    Company
currently has no plans to begin development on the site.

       Effective   June   1,   1997,  the  Company   increased   its   ownership
to   100%   in   the   One   Jackson  Place  office   building.    The   21.875%
minority     interest     was    purchased    for    $1,272,000     cash     and
assumption   of   the   21.875%  pro  rata  share  of  the   outstanding   first
mortgage.

       On   June   1,   1997,   the   Company  sold  its   investment   in   the
Cascade   III   office   building   in   Columbus,   Ohio   and   recognized   a
loss   of   $6,000   for  financial  reporting  purposes   with   net   proceeds
from   the   sale   of   $1,424,000.    With   Parkway's   primary   focus    in
office   investments   centered   in   the  Southeastern   United   States   and
Texas,   the   decision   was   made  to   sell   Cascade   III   due   to   its
location.

        During    the    year   ending   December   31,   1997,   the    Company
capitalized      building     improvements     and      additional      purchase
expenses    of    $5,122,000    and    recorded    depreciation    expense    of
$4,874,000 related to its office property portfolio.

        Parkway    sold   five   non-core   assets   during   the   year    that
resulted   in   gains   for   financial   reporting   purposes   of   $3,317,000
and   net   proceeds   of   $7,906,000.    The   non-core   assets   sold   were
162   acres   of  land  in  Katy,  Texas,  a  180-unit  apartment   complex   in
Winter   Park,   Florida,   20  acres  of  land  in   New   Orleans,   LA,   the
Plantation   Village   Retail   Center   in   Lake   Jackson,   TX    and    the
remaining    assets   owned   by   Golf   Properties,   Inc.     In    addition,
land   held   for   sale   decreased   due   to   a   write-down   of   $500,000
taken   to   reflect   current  market  prices,  as  evidenced   by   a   signed
contract   with   a   third-party  purchaser.  At  December   31,   1997,   non-
core    assets   other   than   mortgage   loans   totaled   $4,309,000.     The
Company    expects    to    continue   its   efforts    to    liquidate    these
assets.

       Notes   payable   to  banks  increased  $6,473,000   as   a   result   of
borrowings    of    $149,773,000   and   payments    of    $143,300,000    under
bank lines of credit.

        Mortgage   notes   payable   increased   $42,392,000   which    includes
the    placement   of   $30,000,000   of   non-recourse   mortgage   loans   and
scheduled   principal   payments   of   $2,475,000   made   during   the    year
on   existing   notes   payable  without  recourse.   On   November   12,   1997
the     Company    received    funds    totaling    $15,000,000     from     the
placement     of    non-recourse    mortgage    financing    on    an     office
property   located   in   Winston   Salem,  North   Carolina.    The   loan   is
fully   amortizing   over   a  15-year  period   at   a   rate   of   7.3%.   On
December     15,     1997,     the    Company    received     funds     totaling
$15,000,000   from   the   placement   of   non-recourse   mortgage    financing
on   an   office   property   located  in  Knoxville,   Tennessee.    The   loan
is   fully   amortizing   over  a  15-year  period   at   a   rate   of   7.17%.
The   Company   expects   to   continue   seeking   fixed   rate,   non-recourse
mortgage   financing   at  terms  ranging  from  ten   to   fifteen   years   on
select    office    building    investments    as    additional    capital    is
needed.    The   Company  plans  to  maintain  a  ratio   of   debt   to   total
market   capitalization   from   25%  to   40%   but   anticipates   that   this
ratio    may   exceed   40%   for   some   period   of   time   following    the
purchase    of   an   asset   pending   the   permanent   financing    of    the
purchase with equity and/or long term, fixed rate debt.

year ended December 31, 1996.

        Net    income   for   the   year   ended   December   31,    1997    was
$14,491,000   ($2.05   per   share)   as   compared   to   $14,371,000    ($3.92
per   share)   for   the   year   ended   December   31,   1996   and   included
$2,907,000    ($.41   per  share)  in  net  gains  from   the   sale   of   non-

included   $10,458,000  ($2.86  per  share)  in  net   gains   from   the   sale
of non-core assets.

       The   primary   reason   for  the  increase  in  the   Company's   income
before   gains   for   1997  as  compared  to  1996   is   the   reflection   of

       The   decrease   in   interest  income   on   mortgage   loans   is   due
primarily   to   sales   of  mortgage  loans  during   1996.    In   May   1996,
the    Company   sold   157   mortgage   loans.    In   December    1996,    the
Company   sold   its   only  wrap  mortgage  loan  with  a   principal   balance
of    $16,529,000   and   8.58%   interest   rate   and   subsequently    repaid
the   associated   wrap   debt   on   that   mortgage   loan,   accounting   for
the   decrease   in   interest   expense  on  wrap   mortgages.    On   December
31,   1997,   the   Company   sold   the  Plantation   Village   retail   center
for   $2,500,000   cash  and  a  note  receivable  of  $900,000   with   a   10%
interest   rate.    The   note   matures  December   31,   2007   and   payments
are   based   on   a   15-year  amortization  with  a   seven-year   call.    At
December    31,    1997,   the   Company's   investment   in    mortage    loans
included   three   mortgage   loans  totaling   $1,117,000   with   an   average
interest rate of 10%.



Comments   are   for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996  compared   to   the
year ended December 31, 1995.

        Net    income   increased   to   $14,371,000   for   the   year    ended
December   31,   1996   as  compared  to  $11,820,000   for   the   year   ended
December   31,   1995   primarily   as  a  result   of   significant   increases
in    income    from   office   buildings   to   $18,840,000   in   1996    from
$6,918,000   in   1995   net  of  related  expenses  of  $14,408,000   in   1996
and    $6,243,000    in    1995.    These   increases    are    reflective    of
increases    in    the    Company's   office   building   portfolio    due    to
acquisitions   made   during   1996  and  1995.    The   portfolio   of   office
properties    increased   from   392,087   square   feet   at    December    31,
1994   to   838,799   square   feet  at  December   31,   1995   and   increased
further   to   1,973,530   square   feet  at  December   31,   1996.    Included
in   net   income   were   gains  on  real  estate  held  for   sale,   mortgage
loans   and   securities   of   $10,458,000   in   1996   and   $10,866,000   in
1995,    reflecting    primarily    sales   of    the    Company's    non-office
building assets.

       The   decrease   in   revenue   from   other   real   estate   properties
held   for   sale   for   the  year  ended  December  31,   1996   compared   to
1995   is   primarily   due   to  the  June  1996  sale   of   the   Oak   Creek
Apartments   and   the   August   1995  sale   of   the   American   Inn   North
Motel.    The   decrease   also  reflects  sales  in  1996   of   21   townhomes
located    in   Corpus   Christi   and   Houston,   Texas,   seven   residential
lots   and   approximately   71   acres  of  land.    In   1995,   the   Company
sold    four    townhomes   in   Corpus   Christi,   Texas,    six    foreclosed
homes    in   San   Antonio,   Texas   and   various   residential   lots    and
parcels   of   real   estate.   These  decreases  were   offset   by   increases
in   revenue   and   operating   expense  due  to   the   acquisition   of   the
minority   interest   holder's   interest   in   the   Club   at   Winter   Park
during 1996 to facilitate the sale of the property.

        At    December    31,   1996,   the   Company   owned   two    operating
properties   that   were   held   for   sale   with   a   carrying   value    of
$3,675,000.    These   properties   were  as   follow:   1)   Club   at   Winter
Park,   an   180   unit   apartment  complex  located   in   Winter   Park,   FL
with   a   carrying   value   of  $2,183,000  and  2)  Plantation   Village,   a
57,000   square   foot  retail  center  located  in  Lake   Jackson,   TX   with
a carrying value of $1,492,000.

      The  net increase in interest on mortgage loans during  the
year  ended  December  31, 1996 compared to  1995  reflects  many
changes  in  the investment in mortgage loans over the  past  two
years.   Increases in interest income from mortgages are  due  to
the  loans  received in the April 27, 1995 merger with EB,  Inc.,
loans made to facilitate sales in 1995 and loans purchased during
1996.   Decreases  in  interest income from  mortgage  loans  are
primarily due to payoffs of  loans received in 1995 and  the  May
1996  sale of 157 mortgage loans.  In addition, the Company  sold
one  mortgage loan in December 1996 with a principal  balance  of
$16,529,000 and 8.58% interest rate.  At December 31,  1996,  the
Company's  investment  in  mortgage loans  totaled  $350,000  and
included 3 loans with an average rate of 10%.

     Gains on sales of securities, real estate and mortgage loans
for 1996 were the result of implementing the Company's investment
strategy  discussed previously.  Cash proceeds from the  sale  of
securities totaled $2,834,000 and resulted in gains of  $549,000.
Gains on real estate and mortgage loans were a result of the sale
of  158  mortgage  loans  in  two  separate  transactions,  gains
recognized  on  the collection of mortgage loans,  writedowns  to
land  and the sale of other non-core assets.  Cash proceeds  from
these  sales  totaled $24,983,000 and net gains  recognized  were
$9,909,000.

     The increase in interest on investments reflects higher cash
balances  invested in interest bearing accounts  during  1996  as
compared to 1995.

     Decreases in dividend income for the year ended December 31,
1996  compared  to  1995  reflect the  sales  of  dividend-paying
securities held by the Company during 1996 and 1995.

     Interest expense on notes payable on wrap mortgages reflects
interest expense on debt received in the April 1995 merger of EB,
Inc.   Notes  payable on wrap mortgages were  paid  off  in  1996
following the sale of the corresponding mortgage loan receivable.

      The  increase  in general and administrative expenses  from
$2,381,000 in 1995 to $3,013,000 in 1996 is primarily due  to  an
increase  in costs as a result of recent mergers and acquisitions
and  the cost associated with the Company's move to the New  York
Stock Exchange from the NASDAQ National Market System.  Effective
August  1996,  the  Company was listed  on  the  New  York  Stock
Exchange (NYSE).  Included in general and administrative expenses
is  a  one-time listing fee of $78,000.  The EB, Inc. merger  was
effective  April 27, 1995, therefore, general and  administrative
expenses of EB, Inc. for only eight months have been included  in
1995  compared  to  twelve months of expenses included  in  1996.
Professional fees also increased as compared to 1995,  reflecting
primarily  the  $65,000  cost  of conducting  an  odd-lot  tender
program to reduce the number of shareholders owning less than 100
shares of stock as a result of the mergers.  The EB, Inc. merger,
resulted  in  over 4,000 new shareholders for the  Company  which
also  contributed to a $92,000 increase in shareholder  reporting
expenses.  Other increases in general and administrative expenses
were  the  result of additional overhead to manage the  Company's
significant growth through property acquisitions during 1996  and
1995.





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statement of Cash Flows

      Cash  and cash equivalents were $959,000 and $8,053,000  at
December  31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company generated
$17,554,000  in cash flows from operating activities  during  the
year  ended December 31, 1997 compared to $7,370,000 for the same
period  of  1996,  an  increase  primarily  attributable  to  the
significant increase in the number of office properties owned  by
the  Company.   The  Company  experienced  significant  investing
activity during the year ending December 31, 1997 with a  net  of
$210,933,000  being  invested.  In  implementing  its  investment
strategy,  the  Company used $211,874,000, not including  closing
costs  and  certain  capitalized  expenses,  to  purchase  office
properties and development land while receiving net cash proceeds
from  the  sale  of  non-core assets  and  office  properties  of
$9,330,000.  The Company also spent $8,619,000 including  closing
costs and capital improvements at its office properties and  non-
core  operating real estate properties. The Company received  net
proceeds  of  $51,221,000 from the sale of  2,012,500  shares  of
common stock during the first quarter of 1997 and net proceeds of
$109,440,000  from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of  common  stock
during the third quarter of 1997 and 450,000 shares in the fourth
quarter of 1997.  Cash dividends of $8,769,000 ($1.20 per  share)
were  paid  to shareholders and principal payments of  $2,475,000
were  made  on  mortgage  notes payable during  the  year  ending
December 31, 1997.

Liquidity

      At December 31, 1997, the Company had $55,000,000 available
on  its acquisition line of credit and  $ 8,527,000 available  on
its working capital line of credit with Deposit Guaranty National
Bank  in  Jackson,  Mississippi.  The Company plans  to  continue
actively  pursuing  the purchase of office  building  investments
that  meet the Company's investment criteria and intends  to  use
these  lines of credit, proceeds from the sale of non-core assets
and  cash  balances to fund those acquisitions.  At December  31,
1997,  the lines of credit had an interest rate equal to the  90-
day  LIBOR  rate  plus 1.75% (adjusted quarterly),  interest  due
monthly  and annual commitment fees of .125%.  In addition,  both
lines  of  credit  had fees of .125% on the unused  balances  due
quarterly.  Prior to March 27, 1997, the interest rates  on  both
lines of credit equaled the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 2.35% adjusted
quarterly. The acquisition line of credit and the working capital
line of credit mature June 30, 1998.

     At  December 31, 1997, the Company had $105,220,000 of  non-
recourse  fixed  rate  mortgage notes  payable  with  an  average
interest   rate  of  7.81%  secured  by  office  properties   and
$6,473,000  drawn  under  bank lines of  credit.   Based  on  the
Company's    total   market   capitalization   of   approximately
$335,068,000  at December 31, 1997 (using the December  31,  1997
closing   price  of  $34.3125  per  share)  the  Company's   debt
represented approximately 25% of its total market capitalization.
The  Company  plans to maintain a ratio of debt to  total  market
capitalization from 25% to 40%, although such ratio may from time
to  time temporarily exceed 40%, especially when the Company  has
incurred significant amounts of short term debt in conection with
property acquisitions.

     Subsequent  to December 31, 1997, the Company purchased  the
Schlumberger Building (previously known as the Veritas  Building)
for  $12,200,000.  The Schlumberger Building is a 155,000  square
foot building with 450 surface parking spaces.  This purchase was
funded with advances under existing lines of credit.

     On  February  25, 1998, the Company purchased a  13-building
portfolio  totaling  1,470,000  net  rentable  square  feet  that
included  properties located in five of its primary  markets  and
three  new  markets.   The breakdown of the  13  building  office
portfolio by market is listed below:

     The  purchase  price of this portfolio totaled  $163,014,000
and  was  funded  by  advances on existing  lines  of  credit,  a
$75,000,000 unsecured loan from NationsBank, NA and the  proceeds
of  two  stock offerings discussed in greater detail  below.  The
NationsBank, NA facility requires the negative pledge of  the  13
office properties purchased February 25, 1998, matures August 25,
1998,  and  has an interest rate of 7.025% until April 24,  1998.
Thereafter  the  loan will have an interest rate  of  LIBOR  plus
1.40%.  In  connection with the portfolio purchase,  the  Company
increased  its  acquisition line from $55,000,000 to  $85,000,000
effective February 25, 1998 and reduced the interest rate on both
lines of credit from the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% to the  30-
day  LIBOR rate plus 1.40%.  The lines of credit call for monthly
interest  payments, annual commitment fees of .35% and  quarterly
unused fees of .175%.
     
     The  Company has committed a $97,000,000 fixed rate loan  at
6.945%  that amortizes over a 15-year term and matures ten  years
from the date the loan closes.  This loan will be secured by  the
13  properties  acquired  in  the  February  25,  1998  portfolio
purchase  and will be used to repay the NationsBank, NA  loan  of
$75,000,000.   The loan also contains a conversion  feature  that
will  give the Company an option to unsecure all or part  of  the
loan  upon receipt of an investment grade rating from two of  the
major rating agencies during the first 24 months of the loan.
     
      Subsequent  to  year end, the Company completed  two  stock
transactions.   On February 23, 1998, the Company  completed  the
sale  of 451,528 shares of common stock under its existing  shelf
registration to a unit investment trust with net proceeds to  the
Company of $14,231,000.  On March 11, 1998, the Company completed
the  sale, through direct placement, of 855,900 shares of  common
stock to institutional investors with net proceeds to the Company
of $26,948,000.

     The Company presently has plans to make capital improvements
at  its  office properties in 1998 of approximately  $15,000,000.
These   expenses   include   tenant   improvements,   capitalized
acquisition   costs   and   capitalized  building   improvements.
Approximately $9,000,000 of these improvements relate to upgrades
and  improvements to properties acquired in 1996  and  1997  that
were  anticipated at the time of purchase.  All such improvements
are  expected to be financed by cash flow from the properties and
advances on bank lines of credit.

      In  the  routine  management of  its  portfolio  of  office
properties,  the  Company evaluates changes in market  conditions
that  indicate  an opportunity or need to sell properties  within
that  market in order to maximize shareholder value.  The Company
also  evaluates other factors, including its ability to  purchase
sufficient property in a market to justify the implementation  of
self  management,  the  speculative  development  of  new  office
properties  within  the market and the demand  for  office  space
within  the  market as evidenced by job growth and  office  space
absorption in deciding whether or not a property should be  sold.
As  a  result  of  this evaluation, the Company  has  decided  to
attempt  to sell its properties located in the Northern  Virginia
market.   The  Company  has made numerous  attempts  to  purchase
sufficient  property in the market to justify the  implementation
of  self  management but has been unsuccessful,  as  prices  have
risen  to  amounts that make it difficult or impossible  to  make
purchases that meet the Company's buying criteria.  There can  be
no  assurance  that  the  Company will  be  able  to  sell  these
properties or on what terms such sale would occur.

      The  Company  anticipates that its  current  cash  balance,
operating  cash flows and borrowings (including borrowings  under
the  working capital line of credit) will be adequate to pay  the
Company's  (i) operating and administrative expenses,  (ii)  debt
service  obligations, (iii) distributions to  shareholders,  (iv)
capital  improvements,  and  (v) normal  repair  and  maintenance
expenses at its properties both in the short and long term.

Funds From Operations

     Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is an
appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs.  Funds  from
operations is defined by the National Association of Real  Estate
Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income or loss, excluding gains
or  losses from debt restructuring and sales of properties,  plus
depreciation   and  amortization,  and  after   adjustments   for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  In  March  1995,
NAREIT  issued  a clarification of the definition  of  FFO.   The
clarification  provides that amortization of  deferred  financing
costs  and depreciation of non-real estate assets are not  to  be
added back to net income to arrive at FFO.  Funds from operations
does  not  represent cash generated from operating activities  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles  and  is
not  an  indication of cash available to fund cash needs.   Funds
from  operations should not be considered an alternative  to  net
income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance  or
as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

     The following table presents the Company's FFO for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

Inflation

      In the last five years, inflation has not had a significant
impact  on  the  Company because of the relatively low  inflation
rate in the Company's geographic areas of operation.  Most of the
leases  require  the  tenants to pay  their  pro  rata  share  of
operating  expenses,  including  common  area  maintenance,  real
estate  taxes  and  insurance,  thereby  reducing  the  Company's
exposure  to  increases  in  operating  expenses  resulting  from
inflation.   In  addition, the Company's  leases  typically  have
three to five year terms, which may enable the Company to replace
existing leases with new leases at a higher base rent if rents on
the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

Forward-Looking Statements

      In addition to historical information, certain sections  of
this Form 10-K may contain forward-looking statements within  the
meaning  of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange Act of  1934,  such  as  those
pertaining to the Company's capital resources, profitability  and
portfolio  performance  and estimates  of  market  rental  rates.
Forward-looking   statements   involve   numerous    risks    and
uncertainties.   The  following factors, among  others  discussed
herein,  could cause actual results and future events  to  differ
materially  from those set forth or contemplated in the  forward-
looking  statements: defaults or non-renewal of leases, increased
interest  rates and operating costs, failure to obtain  necessary
outside  financing,  difficulties in  identifying  properties  to
acquire  and in effecting acquisitions, failure to qualify  as  a
real  estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code  of
1986,  as amended, environmental uncertainties, risks related  to
natural disasters, financial market fluctuations, changes in real
estate  and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates.
The  success of the Company also depends upon the trends  of  the
economy,  including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental
regulation,  legislation,  population  changes  and  those   risk
factors  discussed  elsewhere in this  Form  10-K.   Readers  are
cautioned   not   to  place  undue  reliance  on  forward-looking
statements, which reflect management's analysis only  as  of  the
date hereof.  The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-
looking statements.

Impact of Year 2000

The  Company  operates  in  a PC-based computer  environment  and
maintains  its accounting, property and internal control  systems
utilizing  non  proprietary software systems.   The  Company  has
contacted  vendors  of  its  significant  software  systems   and
received representations that all such software systems have been
changed,  or will be changed prior to June 30, 1999, to  be  year
2000  compliant.  All major computer hardware that  supports  the
Company's  local  area  network and  newly  installed  wide  area
network has been purchased within the past eighteen months and is
known  to be year 2000 compliant.  The Company has formed a  team
of  employees to evaluate the Company's building systems, such as
heating,  air  conditioning, elevators, and security  systems  to
determine  year 2000 compliance.  This evaluation  has  not  been
completed.  The total year 2000 analysis cost is estimated to  be
immaterial  to the Company's consolidated financial position  and
operations.  Such costs will be expensed as incurred.   To  date,
the  Company  has  incurred and expensed immaterial  amounts  for
assessment of the year 2000 issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Parkway Properties, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of  Parkway Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December  31,
1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three  years
in  the  period ended December 31, 1997.  Our audit also included
the  financial statement schedule listed in the index under  Item
14.    These   financial   statements  and   schedule   are   the
responsibility  of the Company's management.  Our  responsibility
is  to express an opinion on these financial statements based  on
our audits.

      We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  auditing standards.  Those standards  require  that  we
plan  and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance  about
whether   the   financial  statements  are   free   of   material
misstatement.   An  audit includes examining, on  a  test  basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.   An  audit  also includes assessing  the  accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well  as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We  believe  that our audits provide a reasonable basis  for  our
opinion.

      In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  consolidated
financial  position of Parkway Properties, Inc. and  subsidiaries
at  December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated  results  of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in  the  period  ended  December 31,  1997,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our  opinion,
the  related  financial statement schedule,  when  considered  in
relation  to  the basic financial statements taken  as  a  whole,
presents  fairly  in  all material respects the  information  set
forth herein.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

      The  consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of  Parkway Properties, Inc.("Parkway" or "the Company)  and  its
100%    owned   subsidiaries.    All   significant   intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Business

      The Company's operations are exclusively in the real estate
industry,  principally with acquisition, operation and management
of office buildings.

Use of estimates

      The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally  accepted accounting principles requires management  to
make  estimates and assumptions that affect the reported  amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities  at  the  date of the financial  statements  and  the
reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during  the  reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash equivalents

      The  Company  considers all highly liquid investments  with
a  maturity  of  three  months  or  less  when  purchased  to  be
cash equivalents.

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries

        The    Company    shares   voting    control    in    the
Wink/Parkway   Partnership  with  a  partner  and,   accordingly,
accounts   for  its  investment  using  the  equity   method   of
accounting.

Real estate properties

      Gains from sales of real estate are recognized based on the
provisions   of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting   Standards
("SFAS")  No.  66  which require upon closing,  the  transfer  of
rights  of ownership to the purchaser, receipt from the purchaser
of   an  adequate  cash  down  payment  and  adequate  continuing
investment by the purchaser.  If the requirements for recognizing
gains have not been met, the sale and related costs are recorded,
but  the  gain  is  deferred  and  recognized  generally  on  the
installment method of accounting as collections are received.

      Real estate properties are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation.  Cost includes the carrying amount of the Company's
investment  plus  any additional consideration paid,  liabilities
assumed, costs of securing title (not to exceed fair market value
in   the   aggregate)   and  improvements  made   subsequent   to
acquisition.   Depreciation of buildings is  computed  using  the
straight-line  method over their estimated  useful  lives  of  40
years.   Depreciation of tenant improvements  including  personal
property is computed using the straight-line method over the term
of  the  lease  involved.  Maintenance and  repair  expenses  are
charged   to   expense  as  incurred,  while   improvements   are
capitalized  and depreciated in accordance with the useful  lives
outlined  above.   Geographically, the Company's  properties  are
concentrated in the Southeastern United States and Texas.

      Revenue from real estate rentals is recognized and  accrued
as earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the lease.

       Management  continually  evaluates  the  Company's  office
buildings  and  the  markets they have office  properties  in  to
ensure  that  these buildings continue to meet  their  investment
criteria.   During 1997 management implemented a self  management
strategy  for  the Company's office buildings which will  require
the  Company to have minimum square footage in an area  in  order
for  the strategy to be cost effective.  If the office properties
no longer meet management's investment criteria or the management
of the building is not cost effective, management may consider  a
sale  of  the office property.  If such a sale becomes  probable,
the office property is classified as available for sale.

     Management fee income and leasing and brokerage commissions
are  recorded  in  income as earned.  Such fees on  Company-owned
properties are eliminated in consolidation.

      Non-core  assets (see Note C) are carried at the  lower  of
fair value minus estimated costs to sell or cost.  Operating real
estate held for investment is stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value.

     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting  for  the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  to  Be
Disposed  Of".  SFAS  No. 121 requires impairment  losses  to  be
recorded  on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators
of  impairment  are  present  and  the  undiscounted  cash  flows
estimated  to  be  generated by those assets are  less  than  the
assets'  carrying  amount.  The effect of this adoption  was  not
material  to the Company's financial position or results  of  its
operations.

Interest income recognition

       Interest  is  generally  accrued  monthly  based  on   the
outstanding  loan  balances.  Recognition of interest  income  is
discontinued   whenever,  in  the  opinion  of  management,   the
collectibility of such income becomes doubtful.  After a loan  is
classified as non-earning, interest is recognized as income  when
received in cash.

Amortization

      Debt  origination  costs are deferred and  amortized  using
the   straight-line   method  over  the   term   of   the   loan.
Leasing commissions are deferred and amortized using the straight-
line method over the term of the respective lease.

Stock based compensation

      The  Company  grants stock options for a  fixed  number  of
shares to employees with an exercise price equal to or above  the
fair  value  of  the  shares at the date of grant.   The  Company
accounts  for stock option grants in accordance with APB  Opinion
No.   25,  "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees",  and,
accordingly,  recognizes no compensation expense  for  the  stock
option grants.



Income taxes

       Income  taxes  have  been  provided  using  the  liability
method   with  SFAS  No.  109,  "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes".
Deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the  net  tax  effects  of  (a)
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets  and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
for  income  tax purposes and (b) operating loss and  tax  credit
carryforwards.

Net Income Per Common Share

      On  April 30, 1996, the Company completed a 3 for 2  common
stock  split,  effected in the form of a stock  dividend  of  one
share  for every two shares outstanding.  All per share data  and
share  data  has been adjusted retroactively for stock  dividends
and splits.

      In  1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share".  SFAS No. 128 replaced
the  calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per  share
with  basic  and  diluted  earnings per  share.   Unlike  primary
earnings  per  share,  basic  earnings  per  share  excludes  any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
Diluted  earnings  per share is very similar  to  the  previously
reported  fully  diluted earnings per share.   All  earnings  per
share  amounts  for  all periods have been presented,  and  where
appropriate,   restated  to  conform  to   the   SFAS   No.   128
requirements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     Effective for 1997, SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about   Capital   Structure",  established  new   standards   for
disclosures  pertaining to an entity's capital  structure.   SFAS
No. 129 had no impact on the Company in 1997.

      Effective  for 1998, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income",  requires  that  items  required  to  be  recognized  as
components  of  comprehensive income be reported in  a  financial
statement  displayed with the same prominence as other  financial
statements.  Management does not expect SFAS No. 130  to  have  a
significant impact on the Company in 1998.

      Effective  for  1998,  SFAS  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", requires that
a  public  company  report financial and descriptive  information
about  its  reportable operating segments.  Management  does  not
expect  SFAS No. 131 to have a significant impact on the  Company
in 1998.

Reclassifications

      Certain  reclassifications have been made in the  1996  and
1995 financial statements to conform to the 1997 classifications.

NOTE B - Investment in Office Properties

     At December 31, 1997, Parkway owned or had a direct interest
in 31 office properties located in 10 states with an aggregate of
4,614,000  square feet of leasable space.  During the year  ended

         The     Company's    income    differs    for    income     tax     and
financial    reporting   purposes   principally   because   (1)    the    timing
of    the    deduction    for   the   provision   for   possible    losses    or
writedowns,   (2)   the  timing  of  the  recognition   of   gains   or   losses
from    the   sale   of   investments,   (3)   real   estate   owned    has    a
different     basis    for    tax    and    financial    reporting     purposes,
producing    different    gains    upon   disposition,    and    (4)    mortgage
loans    have   a   different   basis   for   tax   and   financial    reporting
purposes,    producing    different   gains    upon    collection    of    these
receivables.

        The    net    increase   in   the   total   valuation   allowance    for
the     year     ended     December    31,    1997    was     $1,637,000     and
relates   primarily   to   differences  in  book   and   tax   basis   of   real
estate.    At   December   31,   1997   and   1996,   the   net   deferred   tax
asset    is    entirely    offset    by    a   valuation    allowance    because
realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured.

       At   December   31,   1997,   the  Company   has   net   operating   loss
("NOL")     carryforwards    for    federal    income    tax     purposes     of
approximately    $17,850,000   which   expire   at   various    dates    through
2011.      These    carryforwards    are    limited    to    a    maximum     of
approximately   $2,700,000   in   any   given   year,   subject   to   increases
for built-in gains recognized.

       The   Company   has  qualified  under  Sections  856   -   860   of   the
Internal    Revenue    Code,    as    a   Real    Estate    Investment    Trust,
("REIT")     effective     January    1,    1997.     In     anticipation     of
converting    to    a   REIT,   the   Company   reincorporated    in    Maryland
during   1996.    If   the   Company  distributes   to   its   shareholders   at
least   95%   of   its   REIT  taxable  income,  it  generally   will   not   be
subject   to   federal   corporate  income  tax   on   that   portion   of   its
ordinary   income   or   capital  gain  that  is  timely  distributed   to   its
shareholders.    The   Company   will   utilize   the   NOL   carryforwards   as
a   REIT   to   the   extent  that  it  has  taxable   income   prior   to   the
carryforward    expiration    dates,    subject    to    the    limitation    as
described   above.   The  Company  intends  to  continue   to   qualify   as   a
REIT,    although   the   Company   will   be   subject   to   a    number    of
organizational    and    operational    requirements.     If     the     Company
fails   to   qualify  as  a  REIT  in  any  taxable  year,  the   Company   will
be   subject   to   federal   income  tax  on  its   taxable   income   at   the
prevailing   corporate   rates   and   would   be   ineligible   to    requalify
as a REIT for four years.

        In    January   1998,   the   Company   completed   its   reorganization
into    an    umbrella    partnership   REIT    ("UPREIT")    structure    under
which    substantially   all   of   the   Company's   office    building    real
estate    assets    are    owned   by   an   operating   partnership,    Parkway
Properties     LP     (the     "Operating    Partnership").      The     Company
anticipates   that   the   UPREIT   structure   will   enable   it   to   pursue
new   investment   opportunities  by  having  the   ability   to   offer   units
in   the   Operating   Partnership   to  property   owners   in   exchange   for
office    properties   in   transactions   that   may   have   preferable    tax
characteristics.      Presently,    all    interests    in     the     Operating
Partnership     are    owned    by    the    Company    and    a    wholly-owned
subsidiary.







NOTE F - Stock Option Plans

       The   Company   has   elected  to  follow  APB   No.   25   and   related
Interpretations    in    accounting   for    its    employee    stock    options
because,     as     discussed    below,    the    alternative     fair     value
accounting   provided   for   under  SFAS  No.  123,   Accounting   for   Stock-
Based   Compensation,   requires   use   of   option   valuation   models   that
were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options.

       The   1994   Stock  Option  Plan  provides  for  the   issuance   of   an
aggregate    of   225,000   Parkway   shares   ("Shares")   to   employees    or
officers   of   the   Company  and  its  subsidiaries  upon  the   exercise   of
options   and   upon   incentive   grants   pursuant   to   the   Stock   Option
Plan.    On   July  1  of  each  year,  the  number  of  Shares  available   for
grant   shall   automatically   increase   by   one   percent   (1%)   of    the
Shares    outstanding   on   such   date,   provided   that   the   number    of
Shares   available   for  grant  shall  never  exceed  12.5%   of   the   Shares
outstanding.     In    accordance   with   these    provisions,    the    shares
available   for   grant   increased   100,002   and   41,689   in    1997    and
1996,   respectively.    Under   the   1991   Directors   Stock   Option   Plan,
as   amended,   options   for  up  to  250,000  shares   may   be   granted   to
non-employee directors.  Both plans have ten-year terms.

       Pro   forma   information   regarding   net   income   and   net   income
per   share   is  required  by  SFAS  No.  123,  and  has  been  determined   as
if   the   Company   had  accounted  for  its  employee  stock   options   under
the   fair   value   method   of   that   Statement.    The   fair   value   for
these   options   was   estimated  at  the  date  of  grant   using   a   Black-
Scholes    option    pricing   model   with   the   following   weighted-average
assumptions   for   1997,   1996   and  1995:  risk-free   interest   of   6.0%;
dividend   yield   of   5%;   volatility   factor   of   the   expected   market
price   of   the   Company's   common   stock   of   .427,   .493,   and   .583,
respectively;   and   a   weighted-average  expected   life   of   the   options
of   3   years   for  the  1994  Stock  Option  Plan  and  5   years   for   the
1991   Directors   Stock   Option   Plan.   Because   the   Company's   employee
stock    options    have    characteristics   significantly    different    from
those   of   traded   options,   and   because   changes   in   the   subjective
input   assumptions   can   materially   affect   the   fair   value   estimate,
in   management's   opinion,   the   existing   model   does   not   necessarily
provide   a   reliable   single   measure   of   the   fair   value    of    its
employee    stock   options.     The   weighted   average    fair    value    of
options   granted   during   1997,  1996  and  1995   was   $6.80,   $4.52   and
$4.39, respectively.

       For   purposes   of   pro   forma   disclosures,   the   estimated   fair
value   of   the   options  granted  in  1997,  1996  and  1995   is   amortized
to   expense   over   the   options'  vesting   period.    The   Company's   pro

NOTE H - Subsequent Events

     Subsequent  to December 31, 1997, the Company purchased  the
Schlumberger Building (previously known as the Veritas  Building)
for  $12,200,000.  The Schlumberger Building is a 155,000  square
foot building with 450 surface parking spaces.  This purchase was
funded with advances under existing lines of credit.

     On  February  25, 1998, the Company purchased a  13-building
portfolio  totaling  1,470,000  net  rentable  square  feet  that
included  properties located in five of its primary  markets  and
three  new  markets.   The breakdown of the  13  building  office
portfolio by market is listed below:
     
                          Number of   Net Rentable  Percentage of

     The  purchase  price of this portfolio totaled  $163,014,000
and  was  funded  by  advances on existing  lines  of  credit,  a
$75,000,000 unsecured loan from NationsBank, NA and the  proceeds
of  two  stock offerings discussed in greater detail  below.  The
NationsBank, NA facility requires the negative pledge of  the  13
office properties purchased February 25, 1998, matures August 25,
1998,  and  has an interest rate of 7.025% until April 24,  1998.
Thereafter  the  loan will have an interest rate  of  LIBOR  plus
1.40%.  In  connection with the portfolio purchase,  the  Company
increased  its  acquisition line from $55,000,000 to  $85,000,000
effective February 25, 1998 and reduced the interest rate on both
lines  of credit from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 1.40%.   The
lines  of  credit  call  for  monthly interest  payments,  annual
commitment fees of .35% and quarterly unused fees of .175%.
     
     The  Company has committed a $97,000,000 fixed rate loan  at
6.945%  that amortizes over a 15-year term and matures ten  years
from the date the loan closes.  This loan will be secured by  the
13  properties  acquired  in  the  February  25,  1998  portfolio
purchase and will be partially used to repay the NationsBank,  NA
loan  of  $75,000,000.  The loan will also contain  a  conversion
feature that will give the Company an option to unsecure  all  or
part  of the loan upon receipt of an investment grade rating from
two  of  the major rating agencies during the first 24 months  of
the loan.
     
     The  pro  form effect on the Company's results of operations
of  the  portfolio purchase as if the purchase  had  occurred  on
January 1, 1997 is as follows (in thousands):

          Revenues               $20,543
          Net income              $7,767
          Basic EPS                $1.10
          Diluted EPS              $1.08

      Pro-forma results do not proport to be indicative of actual
results  had  the purchases been made at January 1, 1997  or  the
results that may occur in the future.

      Subsequent to year-end, the Company has completed two stock
transactions.   On February 23, 1998, the Company  completed  the
sale of 451,528 shares of common stock to a unit investment trust
under  its existing shelf registration with net proceeds  to  the
Company of $14,231,000.  On March 11, 1998, the Company completed
the  sale of common stock through the direct placement of 855,900
shares of common stock in a public offering with net proceeds  to
the Company of $26,948,000.

NOTE I - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents

       The   carrying  amounts  for  cash  and  cash  equivalents
approximated fair value at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

Mortgage loans

      The  fair values for mortgage loans are estimated based  on

Forward-Looking Statements

        In   addition   to   historical   information,   certain   sections   of
this    Annual   Report   contain   forward-looking   statements   within    the
meaning   of   Section  27A  of  the  Securities  Act  of   1933   and   Section
21E    of    the   Securities   Exchange   Act   of   1934,   such   as    those
pertaining    to   the   Company's   capital   resources,   profitability    and
portfolio    performance    and    estimates    of    market    rental    rates.
Forward-looking      statements      involve      numerous       risks       and
uncertainties.     The    following    factors,    among    others     discussed
herein,   could   cause   actual   results   and   future   events   to   differ
materially   from   those   set   forth  or   contemplated   in   the   forward-
looking    statements:   defaults   or   non-renewal   of   leases,    increased
interest    rates   and   operating   costs,   failure   to   obtain   necessary
outside     financing,    difficulties    in    identifying    properties     to
acquire   and   in   effecting   acquisitions,   failure   to   qualify   as   a
real   estate   investment   trust   under  the   Internal   Revenue   Code   of
1986,    as   amended   (the   "Code"),   environmental   uncertainties,   risks
related     to     natural    disasters,    financial    market    fluctuations,
changes   in   real   estate   and   zoning   laws   and   increases   in   real
property   tax   rates.   The  success  of  the  Company   also   depends   upon
the   trends   of   the   economy,   including  interest   rates,   income   tax
laws,     governmental     regulation,    legislation,    population     changes
and   those   risk   factors  discussed  elsewhere  in   this   Annual   Report.
Readers    are   cautioned   not   to   place   undue   reliance   on   forward-
looking    statements,   which   reflect   management's   analysis    only    as
the    date   hereof.    The   Company   assumes   no   obligation   to   update
forward-looking   statements.    See  also   the   Company's   reports   to   be
filed    from    time    to    time   with   the   Securities    and    Exchange
